What does the Bible say about Pharaoh's heart being hardened?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible explains that God hardened Pharaoh’s heart to demonstrate His power and sovereignty, showcasing His authority over Egypt's might.

Throughout the narrative of Exodus, it is repeatedly stated that God hardened Pharaoh's heart as part of His divine plan. For example, in Exodus 9:12, we see explicitly, 'And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh.' This hardening served multiple purposes: to showcase God's power through the ten plagues and to solidify the distinction between Israel and Egypt. The act of hardening Pharaoh's heart illustrates the principle that God is sovereign over the affairs of humanity, using even the most hardened of hearts to accomplish His purposes in history. The emphasis is on God’s control over human will and His ability to turn events for His glory and the deliverance of His people.
